Media
Columns, interviews, and market commentary on credit, capital, and the companies behind them.
The pieces collected here share a subject: how capital actually behaves once it is inside a business or a bond, as opposed to how it is described in a pitch. Peter DeCaprio writes and speaks from roughly three decades of investment management, first at the Boston firms he founded and led, Crow Point Partners and then FlowPoint Partners, and now as a Member of Emerald Coast Holdings LLC.
Peter DeCaprio writes as a columnist and author for Entrepreneur, and his pieces take up the questions founders and owners ask about money: how lenders think, what an investor is really underwriting, and how to structure a business so that outside capital helps rather than hurts. His author page collects the published columns.

The conversation covered how that firm approached research, positioning, and value, disciplines he carried into FlowPoint Partners, which he also founded and led, and which continue to shape his work at Emerald Coast Holdings.

Market commentary
A position, and the reasoning behind it
Peter DeCaprio is known for commentary that takes a position and shows the reasoning. The best known example is an appearance on CNBC in which he discussed a short thesis on Tesla, laying out the case against a widely held stock. The pattern is the same as in his investing: an independent view, built from research, argued in plain language, and held while the evidence supports it. His commentary tends to concentrate on credit markets, the telecommunications sector, closed end funds, and the practical mechanics of financing smaller companies.
